The Food for Health Study: Produce Prescriptions for Type 2 Diabetes and Food Insecurity

This study, called "Food for Health," is looking at a new Produce Prescription Program (PPP) for Native American older adults living on the Flathead Reservation. Many people in this community face challenges with food insecurity (not having enough food) and a higher risk of Type 2 Diabetes. The PPP connects healthcare services with vouchers for free, healthy food at local Food Resource Centers. The goal is to see if this program helps people access healthy food and improves their health. You might be able to join if you are 55 or older, live on the Flathead Reservation, identify as Native American, have food insecurity, and have a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes or are pre-diabetic based on your HbA1c lab results.

  • Intervention Feasibility MeasureTime Frame: Pre (week 0), mid (week 8), post intervention (week 17)

    A brief 5-minute Likert-style survey including items for Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), Intervention Appropriateness Measure (IAM), and Feasibility of Intervention Measure (FIM). Each scale includes five items and has demonstrated content, discriminant, and structural validity, as well as reliability and responsiveness to change. AIM (Acceptability): Rates the extent to which the intervention is viewed as agreeable or satisfactory (e.g., "F4H meets my approval"). IAM (Appropriateness): Assesses the perceived fit or suitability of the intervention (e.g., "F4H seems suitable"). FIM (Feasibility): Evaluates the extent to which the intervention can be successfully carried out (e.g., "F4H seems doable"). Mean scores are calculated across all items and averaged together for a composite score. Higher values indicating better outcomes, with a score of 3 or higher indicating that participants view the intervention as feasible.
